TSA tells World Cup fans with newfound love of ranch to pack it in their checked luggage

The TSA reminds World Cup fans that ranch dressing bottles are not exempt from carry-on liquid rules as international visitors discover the condiment.

The United States is a land of many condiments, and it wasn't until this year's World Cup that I realized we've kind of been gatekeeping ranch dressing from the rest of the world.

Well, they've found out, and the TSA is issuing a reminder to fans flying around the country: bottles of ranch are not exempt from rules about liquids in carry-ons.

The TSA shared a tweet that has been drawing plenty of attention, offering a helpful reminder to World Cup fans who may have developed a taste for ranch.

Someone did point out a workaround that any ranch aficionados will be familiar with.

Social media has been rife with stories of fans visiting the United States and discovering ranch, along with some of America's most calorie-laden condiments.

And, can you blame them?

I'm a born and bred (and very handsome) American, and I've even been overwhelmed by our condiment selection. You walk into a grocery store, and you see all kinds of condiments and any permutations of those condiments mixed with mayo.

Forget Niagara Falls. Take a visitor to the condiment aisle at Walmart, and it'll bring a tear to their eye.

Honestly, I've never been a huge ranch guy. I'm on record saying that once you turn 12 it's time to graduate to blue cheese.

However, I forgot to grab some of my preferred blue cheese recently to go with hot wings, so I had no choice but to dip into my Wisconsin-native wife's ranch supply.

I'm not going to lie: it was pretty damn good.

Not sure I would mule a bottle of it to Europe, but I understand the impulse.

I just fear for these new ranchophiles on their next trip to the United States, because we all know they're coming back to get their fix.

Original ranch is the gateway to harder forms of ranch like Chipotle ranch and Buffalo ranch, and they'll want to take it home with them no matter the cost.

All I'm saying is I'd hate to see someone getting strip-searched at the gate because they wanted to spike their in-flight meal with some Hidden Valley.

That's rock bottom.
